Tax Technology BEYOND the Spreadsheet
Integrated Tax Lifecycle
The Tax Lifecycle is a continuous progression generally started with an enterprise’s annual income tax provision and continuing through the planning and forecasting phases. The process is tied to various regulatory deadlines and must be adhered to.
PROVISION & FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT
At the close of every year and quarter, companies recognize income tax expense or benefit in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 prescribes the methodology for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of income taxes.
EXTENSIONS
Due to the time constraints endured during the compressed tax accounting close, enterprises generally extend their tax compliance obligations to afford additional time to file income tax returns.
TAX COMPLIANCE
Companies prepare and file their annual income tax returns following a set of jurisdiction-based complex rules and regulations which are subject to ongoing change.
BUDGETING & FORECASTING
Due to the generally large cash outlays required during the tax year, tax obligations should be forecasted to ensure coordination with overall business operations.
TAX AUTHORITY AUDITS & DEFENSE
Tax returns are subject to the scrutiny of the various taxing jurisdictions in which a company operates or may be deemed operating.
TAX PLANNING & REPORTING
As one of the largest expenses on a company’s income statement, income tax planning is necessary to ensure obligations are met without sacrificing tax efficiency.
ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS
Companies need to comply with various federal, state, local and country specific rules and regulations to remit estimated tax payments periodically throughout the tax year.
AMENDED TAX RETURNS
Due to a multitude of factors, companies may be required to amend previously filed tax returns that may increase or decrease the amount of tax previously reported.
